Over the past five years, Parliament has spent just more than R32 million on travel privileges for former ministers, deare provided for in the “travel privileges for former national members and their spouses” section of the ministerial handbook, have steadily grown from the financial year 2014/15 to 2018/19.

The new ministerial handbook, which came into effect on June 8, made no changes to this parliamentary scheme and reads exactly as the previous handbook did. Widows and widowers of former ministers and deputy ministers are entitled to 12 single domestic flights in business class per year. On security measures at the private residences of public office bearers, the handbook previously read: “The minister of public works may approve a state contribution of a non-recoverable maximum amount of R100 000, or the total cost of security measures not exceeding R100 000.
